‘The Walking Dead’ Star Michael Cudlitz Plays ‘It’s My Line (or Is It?)’

Every fan of The Walking Dead loves the down-to-earth philosophies of Abraham Ford, and his colorful quips are reliably the most quotable lines from the series. But if you think you’re an expert on all the things Abraham has said, we’re here to assure you the true master is Michael Cudlitz himself.

When Yahoo TV asked Cudlitz to play a game of “It’s My Line (or Is It?),” we were pretty confident he’d do well. But as you’ll see in the video above, he not only knows every single line that is and isn’t his, but he can tell you the exact episode a quote is from. And, in one instance, we tried to test him by throwing in a quote Abraham said in the comic book. … Cudlitz knew it and even added that he has said the line not on the TV series but during a New York Comic Con appearance.

PS: A couple of those fake Abraham lines, like “If your ass is standing on the hot asphalt, you try to get off onto the cool grass”: They’re really Dr. Phil quotes, modified to sound Abrahamian.

Finally, with the long, long-anticipated Season 7 premiere of TWD nearly here, we also asked the star to play a game of “Two Truths and a Lie,” in which he gives us two bits of intel on the new season, along with one fib.

But the cast and crew remain serious about not spilling the goods before the premiere airs, so Cudlitz does indeed share some Season 7 goodies, but recent announcements about the running time of the first two episodes of the new season turned the game into “Two Lies and a Truth.”

The Walking Dead Season 7 premieres Oct. 23 at 9 p.m. on AMC.
